Ashley Coppage named to
All Star game in June
Harrison County junior Ashley Coppage has been named to play in the East/West All Star game held this year in Louisville. The games on June 16 and 17 feature juniors and seniors from all 16 regions divided up to have the team from regions 1-8 face a team made up of players from regions 9-16.

The Harrison County Thorobreds made quick work of the Deming Black Devils, 14-2, in five innings Monday night in the district opener.
Deming scored its two runs in the top of the first on a two-run double by Jonathan Pilosky after a single and a walk had runners on first and third.
Sophomore John King started the game for Harrison County on the mound settling down after this inning to pitch a scoreless second inning.
In his two innings of work, King walked two, gave up the two runs, and struck out two.

The Harrison County track teams didn’t win the state meet on Friday, but in the words of Thorobreds Coach Robert Walker “We didn’t win, but they sure knew we were there.”
The Thorobreds placed eighth of 45 teams in a performance that, in most cases, equaled or bettered the competitors’ top performance of the year.

The Harrison County Middle School and High School Archers finished the 2011-12 season with a fine performance in the NASP National Tournament held in Louisville.
This event was the largest archery tournament in history setting a Guinness world record surpassing the old mark set in Mongolia by more than 7,000 participants. The contest was viewed by over 30,000 people over three days.
Leading the way for the archery team were two individual performances that nearly gained two national titles.

People always say when someone complains about Kentucky weather to just hang around an hour or so and it will change.
Change is inevitable as time never stops and so the sports scene in Harrison County is changing.
